Even Joe Flacco Has A Rap Tribute Song, "Do The Joe Flacco" (Video)
Let's be honest, the odds of Joe Flacco getting his own rap tribute were pretty low to begin with but we do live in the YouTube age and one has recently come to light.
It's by Ryan Infamous and its called, "Do The Joe Flacco":
Also, I don't know why there is a shot of Kyle Boller in the clip but I'm not going to question it...swag

Coaching Candidate Overview
Stephen Holder has put together a pretty good list of possible head coaching candidates for those of you who don’t keep up with other teams. For those of us who do, it’s pretty much a list of every single possibility. For example, I don’t see Bill Cowher, Herm Edwards, Marty Schottenheimer or Steve Mariucci happening (although I wouldn’t mind Mooch). Brian...

Raiders vs. Chiefs: Now or Never
It’s the third series of the final quarter of the season, and the Oakland Raiders desperately need to get in the win column on this drive. They hit the Midwest one last time to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. If they lose, the season is pretty much over.
Today’s game should take on the theme of “The Big Payback” as the Raiders were embarrassed at the Black...

Raiders Face a Must-Win Game at Hostile Arrowhead
Arrowhead Stadium can be a hostile place for an opposing team.
It could be an especially nasty venue for a Raiders team that has lost three straight games and now faces a must-win situation this week and next if it hopes to get into the playoffs.
But, there’s this: the Raiders have gone into Kansas City four straight times and come out with a victory.
So, while nothing else...

Backup QB Caleb Hanie should be better the next time around
Caleb Hanie had a tough day in his first NFL start last week. But for young quarterbacks in his situation, it usually gets better. When Anthony Wright took over for Kyle Boller with the Baltimore Ravens in 2003, he was terrible in his first game — 14-of-25 for 112 yards and two interceptions (34.1 rating). The following week against the Seahawks he was 20-of-37 for 319 yards, four...

What went wrong for Chiefs on Sunday
Sure, the Chiefs caught breaks of various sorts in their four consecutive wins over the last five weeks (see Curtis Painter, Kyle Boller and a freakishly botched snap by Philip Rivers on "Monday Night Football," for starters). But for all that went right for them in running their record to 4-3, just as much went awry on Sunday against the previously winless Dolphins. To wit:

Raiders Midseason: Ballers & Busters
The early season Ballers and Busters have been tallied up and we have our midseason totals. Sure, technically it won't be midseason for the Raiders until after the Broncos game but it is the bye week so it just the easiest time to do it.
The Raiders were a pretty sound team overall which made it that much more difficult to pick the players who would make each of the two lists...

Newly acquired Oakland Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer only knew 15 plays from the Raiders playbook when he was placed into the game on Sunday.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson placed Palmer in the game in the second half after Kyle Boller was so ineffective in the first half. Boller went 7-14 with three picks including a pick six. Carson Palmer however was not much better going 8-21...

Train Wreck vs. KC
Kansas City 28 - Oakland 0The Raiders piss poor QB play led to a humiliating, sobering shut-out loss to the Chiefs. Kyle Boller, in his second season with the Raiders, demonstrated why he is a 9th year journeyman backup by making bad reads and decisions. In his 1st series at the helm, Boller threw into double-coverage which turned into a 59 yard TD interception. This first Raiders...
